Sermon – You Are Forgiven

This the second sermon is from the series titled “You Are”.

Theme – The title of this sermon is to be taken literally.  You are forgiven.  Not, you can be forgiven; you are forgiven.  No matter who you are.  No matter what you may have done.  No matter whether you believe you deserve it or not.  You are forgiven.  All you need to do is receive God’s forgiveness.

The text for the sermon was taken from Romans 3:23, Genesis 3:1-5, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13-14, Hebrews 9:26, and 1 John 1:9.

The following excerpt from the Mission (1986) was shown at the conclusion of the sermon.  The Mission is a British film about the experiences of a Jesuit missionary in 18th century South America.
